Specifying attributes
Attributes measure the degree to which objectives are achieved.
Attributes should be
- comprehensive and understandable
- Attribute levels define unambiguously the extent to which an objective is achieved.
- measurable
- It is possible to measure DM’s preferences for different attribute levels.
1) Specify attributes for each lowest level objective.
2) Assess the alternatives’ consequences with respect to those attributes.
